Relay
May I relay to you the moments in which I breathe alone,
Seeing your pain from the wayside of imminent tears,
At a distance, fighting resistance…to run into your space
May I relay to you the throbbing of my heart,
As I absorbed your crushing absence
Wondering how I might fight the worms,
As they lodged in your decaying flesh
May I relay to all the moonlight above
When I forced my soul to leave you
Hoping I would see you
One last time before I was alone again
May I relay to all how I lodged inside you,
Like the hungry worms,
Trapped willingly in your dead body…
I keep wondering how it feels to not feel
How it feels in the ground to never be alone
(this poem was a free-style that I recorded at the top of my head. Talk about subconscious negativity. geez... Anyway, I tweaked the last line some. : )
